- hopler 8y agolooking busy is important in Japanesd culture. Japanese salarymen sit all day at makework jobs that are essentially privatized welfare with lifetime commitment.
- anigbrowl 8y agoGonna split the difference. What you describe is absolutely a thing, but there's a strong 'no work, no food' tradition in Zen Buddhism that is firmly rooted in the history of subsistence agriculture under moderately difficult weather conditions (only one growing season, tough winters).
- thiago_fm 8y agoThis is what you read on the web. Just go to tokyo/japan, do you think all the country was built with privatized welfare jobs? :-)
